Here's the latest section of whats going to be a ruined temple complex. The well isn't finished yet, it needs the wooden structure for drawing water (square boxy thing in the middle of the big base).   Cheers Kim |

I really like the way you do your basing, it just makes it seem so much better. Ive never used molds myself but i should really look into it as they seem really easy and look excellent. As for the Factory it is now finished    |

Nice, looks about as cold as the weather down here right now :-) Tats nicely done, functional and not too dominating.
Thanks for the comments by the way
I'm in the middle of writing a how to for the ruins at the moment so you'll be able to see the process I use step by step. I'll also be doing a step by step on cheap mould making at some time but first I've got to finish the masters (I'm working on some Doric columns).
Cheers

Nice! I particularly like the covered well. Great paint job on it too. Balsa wood it the modeller's friend eh  Still making slow progress on my building facade, but I've run out of resin casting supplies in the interim... |

Balsa rocks! (no pun intended)
I've been meaning to get back into some terrain so I can post in this thread, then it just occurred to me I spent the whole holidays making a terrain piece! I'll have a wip pic up later hopefully.

Thanks Guys
Phil, looking forward to seeing your project.
The well cover turned out quite well :-) I thought. I'm going to have to get a bit more focus to finish off the ruined temple though. I have the pillar mould now so I've got no excuses.
Do you like the Mystic Combination Lock? (the white thing in the foreground of the second photo) The round tile that makes up its face was cast in a film canister top!! That tile could also be used as decrative floor in the centre of a room etc. Funny the things that are lying around that may have great potential as moulds (spys the back end of a black vivid marker pen on the desk Hmmm, might be able to cast a small statue plinth in there!!).
If I get time I'll post the Dungeon / Mine entrance tonight
Cheers
Kim

Here ya go;  A DBA BUA, or De Bellis Anitquitatis Built Up Area for the uninitiated. As soon as i read about BUA's i knew would end up making one (or more than one). This is a walled stockade for my Britons. The scale might look a bit screwy, and for good reason; The figures I'm using are 1:72, but in the rules each man represents something like a thousand men, and the groundscale of the game is something like 1:1200, so straightaway you can see scaled terrain is going to be a bit odd. I decided to go for a more symbolic representaion of the stockade, just the wall itslef and a few underscale buildings, but then I stumbled across the 1:76 farm animals and had to have them! then had to have people too! |

Hah! Nice BUA. Although I doubt they'll be much to sack in there...although I guess carrying off pigs counts as 'sacking'. You've almost finished painting it too eh? Ancient Picts probably would have been a fairly uniform mud brown wouldn't they |

I would have sharpened the posts, except then it wouldn't have been as anally accurate.
and I'm sure pigs cattle and sheep would count as prime bounty in them days.

Darn Hollywood strikes again.
Sharpened posts on a stockade must be a movie thingy.
Hey I thought back in those days Pigs and Sheep were currency. Poker must have been "interesting I'll see sheep and raise you a pig"
(sorry been in a silly mood all day)
